{"product_id":"fire-dreams-making-black-feminist-liberation-in-the-south-9781478025542","title":"Fire Dreams: Making Black Feminist Liberation in the South","description":"For thirty-five years, the New Orleans-based Black feminist collective Women With A Vision (WWAV) has fought for the liberation of their communities through reproductive justice, harm reduction, abolition feminism, racial justice, and sex workers' rights. In 2012, shortly after one of WWAV's biggest organizing victories, arsonists firebombed and destroyed their headquarters. \u003ci\u003eFire Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e is an innovative collaboration between WWAV and Laura McTighe, who work in community to build a social movement ethnography of the organization's post-arson rebirth. Rooting WWAV in the geography of the South and the living history of generations of Black feminist thinkers, McTighe and WWAV weave together stories from their founders' pioneering work during the Black HIV\/AIDS crisis in the 1980s and their groundbreaking organizing to end criminalization in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina---with other movements for liberation as accomplices. Together, the authors refuse the logics of racial capitalism and share WWAV's own world-building knowledges, as well as their methods for living these Black feminist futures now. \u003ci\u003eFire Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital toolkit for grassroots organizers, activist-scholars, and all those who dream to make the world otherwise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura McTighe, Women With A Vision\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478025542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaura McTighe is Associate Professor of Religion at Florida State University and the Cofounder of Women With A Vision's research arm, Front Porch Research Strategy in New Orleans. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Deon Haywood is Executive Director of Women With A Vision, a New Orleans-based organization that has organized for Black feminist liberation in the South for decades.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43182345683059,"sku":"9.78148E+12","price":33.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_e02e9956-d407-48de-a9ce-2714424c1c34.jpg?v=1752146963","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/fire-dreams-making-black-feminist-liberation-in-the-south-9781478025542","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
